It is the characters that make stories memorable. Joey "Coco" Diaz is one such character and a tell of such stories. One look at Joey and you can just tell there is a story on the horizon. Whether that story is about classic rock concerts at Madison Square Garden (told with tears in his eyes) or the best places to get Chinese food in Jersey; they are told with a passion and a warmth that captivate the moment. Joey brings this same depth of emotion to his comedy and his acting.
Joey's most recent project is Paul T. Murray's directorial debut "Boiler Maker". In this Joey plays drug dealer, Enzo. This project gave Joey a chance to really show off his acting ability. But it wasn't the first time. Joey's performance in the remake of the "Longest Yard" proved he truly could go the distance. Other film performances include "Spiderman II", "Analyze That", and Greg Araki's "Smiley Face".
He brought his special energy to NBC this season. He appeared in several episodes of the hit comedy "My Name is Earl". This was not the only time Joey has shined on television; recently he also danced his way into a spot on TBS's "Frank TV". He also appeared several times on FOX's "Mad TV", and has been on CBS's "Cold Case" and NBC's "ER".
Joey can't seem to help going all in. As a long time comedian, he has performed in comedy clubs across the country. Joey can currently be seen headlining Showtime's "Payaso Comedy Slam".
Joey also has an award winning online project "Joey Karate"....

Joey also has an award winning online project "Joey Karate". As a child growing up in North Bergen, New Jersey he began training in martial arts. Although in "Joey Karate" he takes a light hearted view of martial arts, Joey has always had a love of the sport and a respect for those who excel in it.
He also had a great respect for those who could make him laugh. Growing up in New Jersey, Joey used to dance and sing in his mother's bar for tips. From there he learned the world was a stage. Because of heroes like Jackie Gleason and Richard Pryor, Joey strives to fill his world with laughter and to include everyone he meets. Joey's infectious storytelling makes you see what he sees and feel what he feels. Joey "Coco" Diaz currently lives in Los Angeles with his long time girlfriend and their nine cats.
